This is one of several works Renoir produced during his 1889 trip to Aix-en-Provence, where he visited Paul Cézanne and rented a house from Cézanne's sister and brother-in-law. In the distance is a dovecote, or a pigeon tower. Several paintings by Cézanne show this building from the same angle, opening up the possibility that the two artists painted side by side. Renoir's brushwork here is much more organized than usual, with strokes laid in parallel, suggesting his friend's influence.
